Dear Linh,

Hi Linh, how are you? Today I am writing to tell you about a festival in America. This festival is scary but very fun.

The last day of October of the solar calendar is Halloween, also known as the devil festival. This is a festival that runs from October 31 until 12 midnight in the evening and the "Trick Or Treat" game is the main activity for most US children and teenagers on Halloween night. "Trick" originally means fool, naughty ghost game. "Treat" is to receive, treat, and treat.

Children and teenagers, young people dressed up in devilish clothes and masks, then took lanterns from house to house in the neighborhood, knocking on the door and saying "trick or treat." This sentence means: "If you want us not to do bad things, please treat us to something." Normally, the neighbors always wanted to avoid the "trick" that meant playing a trick, so they treated them with candy and fruit (it is customary to have coins inside).

As a custom, the children often carry lanterns made of pumpkin skins that are carved in the shape of a human face to let the light out. The fun festivals on Halloween night often revolve around topics such as stories of luck in the world, stories about ghosts and witches ...

How do you feel about this holiday? Tell me in a letter as soon as possible!

Best wishes,

Lisa.
